    Hotwell Inspection

    Uploaded by

    The task is to inspect the main condenser's hotwell for cracks, erosion, and damage. The inspection includes examining internals, tubes, and spray piping. The interval is determined by the need for continuous condition monitoring, as degradation occurs randomly through common mechanisms. The hotwell inspection is normally performed each refueling outage alongside the waterbox inspection, though the interval could be extended in only the mildest service conditions if plant history shows slight degradation.

    PM Task Report 1/12/2011

    Component Type: Heat Exchanger - Main Condenser


    Task Name: Hotwell Inspection
    Criticality Critical Minor
    Duty Cycle High Low High Low High Low High Low
    Service Conditions Severe Mild Severe Mild
    CHS CLS CHM CLM MHS MLS MHM MLM
    2Y NA 2Y NA NA NA NA NA
    Task Objective
    The task is driven by the need to inspect for cracks associated with penetration baffles, and to inspect at
    least some condenser tubes and spray piping for erosion, cracks, and damage. The interval is
    determined by the need to maintain continuous condition assessment and prediction capability, and is
    influenced by many common, but random, mechanisms which are not efficiently screened by a time
    directed task; only in the mildest conditions could the interval be extended.

    Task Content
    Hotwell Inspection should include the following:
    Inspect for presence of foreign materials and general cleanliness.
    Inspect for evidence of erosion, corrosion, cracks, and weld failures of all internals and tubes.
    Inspect for evidence of steam/fluid flow erosion.
    Inspect condensate pit screening for looseness.
    Inspect baffles, braces, impingement plates, and penetration lines for cracks and evidence of failure.
    Inspect for loose, damaged , and missing tube stakes.
    Inspect expansion joint and shield for wear and damage.
    Inspect extraction steam piping shrouds for cracks.

    Principle Failure Location And Causes:


    This task focuses on the detection of cracks in structural hardware and in welds associated with internal
    devices such as penetration baffles, tube support plates, baffle plates, diffuser shields, and feed heater
    supports. In addition, it is possible to examine a limited number of condenser tubes and the spray
    piping for external erosion and cracking.

    Progression Of Degradation In Time:


    Most of the structural elements tend to be failure free for many years but welds in penetration baffles are
    subject to cracking at random times, and tube erosion and cracking is also likely to occur randomly.

    Support For The Task Interval And Relation To Other Tasks:


    The Hotwell Inspection will normally be performed each refueling outage at the same time as the
    Waterbox Inspection. There is not much scope for changing this interval except in the mildest
    conditions where plant history has repeatedly shown that degradation only slight at the suggested
    interval.
